DMXtend utilizes Lucent’s state-of-the-art AllWave
ADVANTAGE™ Fiber Optic Attenuators. These attenuators reduce
optical power from the transmitter that can result in over-saturation of
the receiver, have low reflection to meet stringent system requirements,
and are backward-compatible with existing transmission systems.
Unique to the AllWave ADVANTAGE optical connectivity solution
(OCS), the new LC™ optic attenuators are designed to provide flat
spectral loss across the full spectrum, allowing the attenuators to be
used in the 1300 nm, 1400 nm, and 1500 nm bands.

Assembly of LC-type LBO
into LC Block
The LC-type LBOs are installed into the LC-type connector by aligning
the alignment key with the slot in the connector port and pushing the
LBO into the port until it snaps into place.
